The station is located on the Bendigo line and closed in 1982 as part of the New Deal for Country Passengers.

The Daylesford line was closed in 1978 and staff withdrawn.

The then Victorian Railways decided to demolish the station building as its proximity to a level crossing on the up (Melbourne) end of the platform meant that the building obscured visibility from the crossing to up trains which passed through at high speed.

An approach to the then Minister of Transport, Mr Rob McLellan in 1980 by an amateur rail historian, Phil Tagell, convinced him that the relocation of the crossing further South would improve its visibility for motorists wishing to use it and thus allow the building to be saved from demolition.
